I thought of considering doing either YOGA or Body building...

I see the bodybuilding lifestyle as more complete
compared to yoga. Nothing is more effective at
producing positive physical change. True bodybuilding
is a system of four parts: resistance work, aerobic
work, flexibility work, and specialized nutrition.
Practical visualization and spiritual components are
often part of it as well. Anything that will help,
within the boundaries of ones morality, can be included.

But, I needed to know the long term effects of the same.

I've seen Arnold recently.. and I've seen few regular yoga
practitioners at their old age.. ...

Looks to be doing Yoga is a better option...

What's wrong with the way Arnold looks at 60?

In any case, a Mr. Olympia winner is not suggestive
of a drug-free, genetically typical bodybuilding
enthusiast. Here's a link to a more realistic
example: http://tinyurl.com/2ksnt4
The man is 66 and in fine condition. I like the
John Hansen quote: "Murrell Hall is what bodybuilding
is all about." If you were 25% as serious about it
you'd do just fine.

Any suggestions???

Do both. Yoga covers the flexibility and spirituality
components of a complete program that also includes
resistance work, aerobic/cardiovascular work, and
nutrition.
